Description

Trimble Grocery and Market has been a fixture of the Fort Worth, Texas community for the past seventeen-years. The owner of the store, E. Burt Trimble is selling the store to his market associate, Walter Jetton (second from right). Mr. Trimble plans enjoy retirement and take a much needed rest. Customers, neighbors, and friends are gathering in the store to pay their respects to the retiring grocer. Mr. Trimble is shown standing behind the register, dressed in a short-sleeve shirt and an apron. His wife, Mrs. Trimble is behind him. Standing on a box by the "McCaskey" bookkeeping system is Mrs. C. B. Rains. She is presenting a scroll, which all of Mr. Trimble's customers expect to sign by next week.
